...it didn't stop me from attending a sample sale. What can I say? I cannot resist a good deal. More out of curiousity than anything else, I went to the Esprit sample sale at Fort Mason--a warehouse-like old military base remnant. I like Esprit stuff, but I don't see it as much as I once did. When the Esprit outlet in San Marcos shut down, that was pretty much it for me and Esprit.
I digress. I went with little to no expectation -- I expected it to be crowded with a bunch of annoying people, shoving all kinds of overpriced crap into their bags and calling it a deal. Oddly enough, it was quite decent. Not too many people. Lots of stuff/sizes left (I went on day 3 of the sale). $10 dresses. People were actually friendly and helpful because there were no mirrors, and one had to rely on her neighbor to get an opinion. And the clincher: buy 10 things or more, and you get 10% off your entire order.
I didn't expect to go shopping except for myself, but there was a table of guys clothes...nice, inexpensive, cool, not-too-gay, guys clothes--all in NG's size. I've never done this before, but I totally went shopping for him. As if I were his mom.
*Gulp*
What has become of me?
When I told this to my friend, he said, "well don't feel bad, I'm going to see SATC tonight with my gf."
Ok, I think he wins.
